I know the propertys transparency key and opacity. It isnt what I am looking for. I need to have my form to have the same Glass Effect the as win7 does while runing under win7 plataform. Like, if i have glass effect in the top I should have it in the background.
View 14 RepliesI've been playing around with Windows 7 taskbar thumbnail previews. I've noticed that some Microsoft applications are able to set thumbnail images which have transparency in background. I've been trying all out and not been able to achieve this.
I've set a picturebox control having PNG with transparency as thumbnail preview, doesnt work. I tried creating a new bitmap and loading from Icon file having transparency and setting it as preview but still doesn't work. It keeps showing the background color of the form window.
This is what Microsoft apps are able to acheive:

I have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.
We have a VB.NET applciation that is run from a mapped network drive. This works fine on all PCs expect those with Windows 7, on those we get the following: "application generated an exception that cannot be handled" System.Security.SecurityException was unhandled If the application folder is copied locally and run from there it works fine. I assume it is related to Windows 7 netowrk security but not sure how to work around it.

View 1 RepliesDepending on what component is handling the print for you, some of them are not 64 bit ready (i.e. 32 bit only). To use them you must compile your application as 32 bit only. It will then run on the WOW platform that Win7 supplies.
You change this option on the PropertiesCompile screen. Press Advanced Compile Options and review Target CPU:
I mean not like windows xp which the number and signs are not in the same textbox, but like windows 7 which you can see the whole calculation before pressing equal, and i don't think that compute.datatable can do this because it's limited with the basic signs(+,-,/,*) and it doesn't include the other signs(like : sin,^,root,log), so how to make a calculator like windows 7 one?

I used VB6 to create an EXE file that uses MSComm1.The program runs OK in my XP computer and also in my Win7 computer (that has VBE installed).It would not run on my Vista laptop. I installed the VB runtime files (even though Microsoft says they are not compatible with Vista/Win7) but with no success.However, when I installed VBE on the laptop, it now runs the EXE quite happily.Does installing VBE also install a different set of runtime files?Is it posible to distribute my program to my friends who have Vista or Win 7, without them having to first install VBE?

View 1 RepliesI am making a windows service that will communicate with a local application through named pipes, and with a server through WCF webservice. So the application hosts the WCF service for the local application, and is a client for the webservices. When trying to run this as a service, the whole thing crashes. I have localized the problem to the "Session 0 Isolation" issue?
�If two-way interaction is required, use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), .NET remoting, named pipes, or any other interprocess communication (IPC) mechanism (excluding window messages) to communicate across sessions. WCF and Remoting have a better security enforcement that will prompt the user (assuming UAC not shut-off) to elevate if needed. But I am not sure what they meen. As far as I know, i cannot create a windows service as WCF.
